I can never be bothered with it. What determines a rank anyway? Strength? Intelligence? Age? If it's the last one, I probably have the lot of you beaten, I'm 1500 years old, give or take a decade or two. But I have no interest in being a leader. Nor do I want to submit to anyone else. A pack should work in unity, for the best interests of everyone, and if someone has a good idea they should be listened to, regardless of what kind of wolf, age, strength, mate choice or sexuality or any other factor that could come into it.
